"As a Buddhist I learned that to navigate the rocks you must flow over and around them, not try to flow through them. We must be like water: strong, ever-bending, never stopping, occasionally receding, ebbing and flowing. We can't allow ourselves to be dammed up. To deal with life's challenges it helps to be like water."KaZ Cruse Akers

...and a host of other cliché phrases. Who would have thought the one I threw in last for a joke would win?

I suppose the library wanted to appeal to a certain clientele.

I deferred to the manager acknowledging that she had her finger on the pulse of the community more than I did. (Although she had been the manager for 2 months and came from a completely different district and I had been there for a year and a half - but who's splitting hairs?? It's a corporate thing, I get it.)

So what's happening here?

Here's where I share my on-going or previously published, performed and produced works.

Prose, song lyrics, television and play script excerpts, published article excerpts or whatever I'm working on at the time will appear...

WRITE HERE!

So...

...expect the unexpected.

​Some of my work has a decided comedic bend, except my prose and poetry and some of my songwriting. Those are obviously cathartic, purging and touch on that which I find timely.

Some writing is dramatic, and typically that depends on resource material, as is the case of my play based on World War II. Some of THAT is funny, too, but most is poignant, sad and rife with loneliness.

After my grandmother died, I found the letters at the bottom of my her closet. They were tucked away like a dirty secret. Truly the appearance of skeletons in her closet.

The comedy play is based on two dear friend and me in early middle age. Sometimes it's a farce...and sometimes pure melodrama.

"I will admit that my prose and my poetry are a lot more dramatic and serious than my television writing. I think it is the short bursts of inspiration that fuel my prose and poetry. I have written songs that are fun but also have a message and a serious side to them. As an actor I prefer comedy but as a prose writer I prefer expressing my deeper thoughts and challenges. It helps me to work out my garbage" most of the time."KaZ Cruse Akers
